Japanese artist Kohei Ohmori is said to spend up to 200 hours on every piece he creates, which is wild. He is another fantastic artist who dabbles in photorealism. His drawings are based on everyday objects, such as watches, shoes, and beer cans. He uses graphite pencils and manages to capture intricate details of the objects he is drawing. 

While the human form isn’t his forte, he did impress many with his hyper realistic portrait of British model Sophia Blackbrough. It took him about 250 hours across 85 days using just a pencil. Amazing.
